That's not what I'm arguing. I'm simply arguing that the system we have now is really no better than the system we've had since the 30s. People seem to think that things are soooo much better now that we have a playoff, but the same subjectivity still exists. We have simply gone from people picking one team, to people picking two teams, to people picking four teams.

At least back in the days of the poll era there was some level of excitement to just about all of the major bowls. You had four or five games that could potentially decide the national championship in a given post-season, giving all of those games some amount of relevance. You also didn't have anywhere near as many bowls back then, which made making the post-season a reward for a good season. Nowadays you can have a losing record and still play in a bowl. That's freaking retarded.

In 1977, there were a mere 13 bowl games. This year there will be 40.

To truly make the post-season relevant and crown a true national champion, there must a massive reformation in the FBS ranks. In 2019, there will be 130 teams competing at the FBS level. That's way too many. That number should be reduced to the 64 members of the P5 conferences. The rest of them should be thrown into their own subdivision - call it FBS-II or something - so the big boys can actually compete against relevant competition every single week.

Reduce the regular season from 12 games to 11. Nine of those games will be against in-conference opponents while the other two will be against other non-conference P5 opponents. Each conference will have its own championship game and the winner of said game will get an automatic bid to an 8-team CFB Playoff. That will leave room for three at-large teams.

The playoff games will rotate among the major bowl games. The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will have a permanent playoff game status while the other two playoff games will rotate between the Orange, Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach. The Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl will be played on January 1 while the other two playoff games will be played on January 2. Two weeks later, on a Saturday night, the national championship game will be played at a neutral site that is bid out beforehand.

As I said, the Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and Peach Bowl will all rotate amongst themselves for the last two playoff games. When they aren't a part of the playoffs, they will be the bedrock for a slate of post-season bowl games to reward those teams that were good, but not quite good enough to get into the playoffs. These games would be played between December 26 and January 1 featuring the very best college football has to offer outside those teams that made the playoffs.

So here's an example post-season for this hypothetical format:

Playoffs

January 1
Rose Bowl
Sugar Bowl

January 2
Orange Bowl
Fiesta Bowl

Post-Season Bowls (December 26-31)

Cotton Bowl
Peach Bowl
Holiday Bowl
Sun Bowl
Liberty Bowl
Citrus Bowl
Outback Bowl
Gator Bowl
